Delivery Day

The SN2 has been powered up for about 5 days straight now. I haven't been able to listen the past 3 nights but am looking forward to getting some time in this weekend. Will post more thoughts about the evolving sound of both the SN2 and 160's.

Sean. I think you have really super nice system and if you want get better sounds you have to spend three or four times amount$$$ to just get little better. So I really hope you to enjoy your system. To be honest with you sometimes I wish I was stop when I had my Naim and Totem system. It was more than good enough for what it's worth.... Sigh...

Paul, thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it. I am enjoying my new system very much. It's just so fun to plop down and listen.

If you start to get the itch for more Naim, their new XS2 has an added 10 watts (70 total) and is priced nicely at $2,900....nice secondary system.

Curious if anyone has experience with 3rd party power cords on Naim pieces, particularly their pre and power amps? Traditionally, they (Naim) do not recommend them and many users have found they can degrade performance vs plugging stock cords into the wall. Trying to stay away from the Naim PowerLine.

The only ones I've liked are the Shunyata.

In fact a Naim dealer got me to try the Shunyata.

You really just need to try them in your system.

Sean - you may want to try the Teddy Pardo PSU for your amp. It is much cheaper than the Naim one, and many people say thay are much better sounding (at least next to non-DR ones).

I have two of those and couldn't be happier.

Adding the external PSU to the original Supernait was highly recommended by Martin Colloms in his HiFi Critic review. The Supernait scored 48 and 64 points respectively, without and with the extrnal PSU.

Thank you, gents. I will have to check out these options. I like the idea of the Venom 3 on my future DAC. Shunyata consistency might be a good thing for my SN2.

I continue to be very very happy with my SN2 and Focus 160's. I will be adding a Shunyata Venom HC to the SN2 this weekend and hope for a great pairing. I have been wanting to try Shunyata for some time now. David (DAV) carries the line and was a great pleasure to do business with. Thank you David!

Awesome Sean !! Let us know what you think.

Sean.......late to the party but I gotta say.....very nice!

This is what I was considering.......I wonder where this owner got his stands in white?

 

[Sean]

Thank you, Lavon.

Those white stands look like the Stand4s....I am not too sure they make those anymore (don't take my word for it), so you might have to find them second hand.
